Shall I Unleash My True Intentions?
Next day, Ryu Yena who came to work at the bar saw Park Soyeon wrapping a bandage around her wrist.
“Unnie? Did you get hurt? Did it have to do with that yesterday?”
“It was a bit sprained. It’s just a strain. It says it will get better in a few days if I rest.”
“I’m sorry, unnie. It’s all my fault.”
“It’s fine. Dealing with that bastard is part of being the boss.”
As expected, a cool unnie.
Grateful and sorry again.
At that moment, a thought crossed Ryu Yena’s mind.
‘If it’s Mr. Suhyun, he could fix the wrist in no time, right?’
It was definitely possible with Suhyun’s massage skills.
The appointment was today.
‘I don’t want to share Mr. Suhyun… but I can’t just ignore someone who got hurt because of me.’
And it was a bit humiliating, but…
Despite throwing out many hints, Suhyun had not made a move.
He was not destined to be a lover.
“Unnie, are you interested in massage?”
“Massage? Why? Are you recommending one?”
“Yes. The teachers at the place I go to are really skilled. Not sure if it’s accurate, but they can make your wrist heal faster.”
“Massage? It’s not a doctor, how can that be.”
“It’s not a doctor, but the skills are amazing. The teacher who fixed my chronic back pain. And my skin looks better lately? It started after I started going to that massage place.”
“Really?”
Park Soyeon was a bit interested in Ryu Yena’s story.
She didn’t believe they could heal the wrist in one go.
What she was interested in was beauty.
Ryu Yena had indeed become more beautiful lately.
If the secret was massage, she couldn’t help but be interested.
“Really? Did you get that from the massage? Not some procedure?”
Soyeon asked for more details.
She felt the need to check her appearance lately.
Because of her husband’s infidelity.
Her husband was the boss of Chilsung Gang.
As the top of the underworld, many women would be attracted.
Since she had high immunity from dating, she ignored physical affairs.
She hadn’t lived purely either.
But she wouldn’t let her heart stray.
Her demeanor lately wasn’t good.
The number of times he came home had decreased significantly.
Surely he had another woman.
It would be nice if it was just a worry, but this feeling had never been wrong.
So she had to prepare for battle.
She was going to invade the other house, break up the family, and make it a mess.
To fight, she needed to have beauty so she wouldn’t lose to the other woman.
“No. I don’t know much, but when you massage, it stimulates the blood and releases toxins. So wrinkles disappear and skin firms up. If you’re interested, shall I take you today? Actually, I have an appointment today. Reservations here are really hard. The teacher’s skill is so great that you have to wait two weeks minimum for an appointment.”
“Really?”
“If you’re interested, let’s go after work today.”

“Acupoint Gu-gu is the place to press when you have a stomachache, right?”
Gwanghyun was pressing the acupoint between his thumb and index finger while asking.
Waiting room of L Massage Salon.
While Suhyun was resting for a moment, he was listening to a lecture.
Other masseurs were also listening intently to this priceless lecture that couldn’t be heard anywhere.
“That’s right. Then why press Gu-gu when you have a stomachache? What is the effect of Gu-gu?”
“Wait a sec….”
Gwanghyun searched through the printed materials.
With that enthusiasm, Suhyun smiled and waited.
“Panacea? Analgesic effect?”
“Yes. Gu-gu is a good acupoint that helps with blood circulation throughout the body. And as you said, it helps with digestive issues. Why is that? How does blood circulation help with digestion?”
“Um… Because the body works?”
“Correct.”
Gwanghyun wasn’t a good student.
But not a bad one either.
Not a genius or prodigy, but he knew how to study hard, had enthusiasm.
It would take a bit more time than others, but if he studied steadily, he would master acupoints someday.
“Blood circulation improves, the first thing affected is the heart, then the lungs, then the stomach. So when you have a stomachache, you press and massage Gu-gu. This can also be used for people with poor digestive organs.”
“Ah, so for people with melasma, you massage Gu-gu.”
Gwanghyun nodded, understanding.
Thanks to Suhyun’s lecture, he understood that melasma is caused by nutrient deficiency.
If digestive organs are strengthened, nutrients are absorbed well, so melasma can be treated.
“That’s right. From the soles, up: Yongquan, Sanyinjiao, Zusanli, Zhongwan, Qihai, Quchi, Hegu. If you focus on massaging these, the customer’s skin will improve a lot.”
“Wait! I haven’t written it yet!”
“Hah….”
When Suhyun was about to call out the list of acupoints again, a masseur approached Suhyun.
“Yes?”
“If it’s okay, can you tell me like you told Gwanghyun? Ah! Of course, I’m not asking for free lessons. I’ll pay the tuition.”
The masseur’s question was very cautious.
The massage industry was a new industry just starting to take shape.
So there was no system, no standard for massage or bible.
It was purely based on one’s own skills and experience.
Naturally, there was no exchange of techniques.
No one knew who was good, and teaching others didn’t benefit much.
But the masseur thought Suhyun’s lecture was systematic and had professional knowledge.
And he could see why Suhyun became a top masseur right after starting.
So, despite shame, he asked.
“Of course it’s okay. But no tuition is needed. I’m just resting for a moment. If I charge, I have to do it perfectly, which I don’t want to burden myself with. If it’s okay to just casually teach while resting with Gwanghyun, I’ll allow it.”
“Ah! Of course, even that is hugely grateful. Then, can I ask a few questions?”
“Yes.”
The masseur asked questions about parts he didn’t understand from what Suhyun said.
As he answered, Suhyun’s resting time ended.
Knock knock.
“May I come in?”
“Come in.”
‘Hm?’
Suhyun, when he comes to work, looks at the reservation sheet once.
And remembers most customers’ names.
Thanks to the habit of not missing even small things about women.
Surely this reservation was Ryu Yena, who had a somewhat prickly personality.
But the voice heard was different.
“Oh my, such a young teacher?”
Park Soyeon was a bit surprised seeing Suhyun’s appearance.
Ryu Yena had praised him so much that she imagined a skilled professional masseur.
But the one who came in was a man in his mid-20s.
And very handsome.
More suited for a host or celebrity than a masseur.
“Yes. 60 minutes aromatherapy, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s start. But does your hand hurt?”
“Ah?”
Suhyun’s hand touched Park Soyeon’s wrist.
Just that alone, Soyeon felt something different.
Hard to explain with words, but the feeling of something refreshing just from the touch.
“It will hurt a bit. It will throb, throb, throb, right? Normally you start from the feet, but let’s fix this painful part first.”
Something was different.
Just placing the hand on the skin, a refreshing feeling spread from the contact point.
While Soyeon was bewildered, Suhyun removed the bandage tied on her wrist.
And applied lotion on top.
“It seems the inflammation is quite severe. How did you get hurt? This much would mean you had to collide hard.”
“Aaah!?”
Strange.
Just massaging the hand, the lower abdomen tingles and pulses.
It felt like being pleasured.
The massage touch was so sensual and pleasurable.
“You don’t want to answer?”
“Ah, no. Just… fought with someone….”
“Is that so? Did you win?”
“Eh?”
“Did you lose?”
“I won… but….”
“Well done. Injuring such a pretty hand, that kind of guy deserves to be hit. Ah, but was it a guy?”
“Um….”
A masseur who encourages fighting.
But Park Soyeon couldn’t think deeply about it.
The subtle pain she felt from the hand was disappearing.
Ryu Yena’s words were not lies.
“Ah…. My wrist, how…. Haa.”
“Feels good? Ah, by the way, I didn’t ask your name. What is your name?”
“Uh, when asking name. Haa…. Isn’t it proper to introduce your own name first? I’m older… Aaah….”
“Hahaha. Who would have thought your personality is similar to Yena’s friend. I like it. I don’t dislike such personality. My name is Suhyun. Kim Suhyun. What’s your name?”
“Huu….”
Strange feeling.
The initiative in conversation passed to the young man.
But it wasn’t unpleasant.
This was a problem.
It was an action not like Park Soyeon.
So, Park Soyeon suppressed the rising pleasure and exhaled.
“?”
“I won’t tell you.”
“Is it some kind of mystery? Or do I not appeal to you? There’s no way.”
“Hu, hng…. You’re too arrogant, aren’t you?”
“Maybe. Then how about this? If my massage pleases you during the massage, tell me your name. Or don’t tell me until the end.”
Suhyun requested a bet.
Although it wasn’t what he meant, Soyeon accepted it that way.
Good.
She accepted the bet.
“Can you satisfy me?”
When Suhyun’s hand touched, she thought it was different from other masseurs.
But Soyeon had the audacity to say she wasn’t satisfied even if she was satisfied.
It was an essential virtue for living in the night world as a woman.
“Let’s see. But how about your wrist? Doesn’t it hurt?”
“Um. No? It seems fine.”
The wrist was as good as new.
But Soyeon calmly lied.
And Suhyun naturally saw through the lie.
A difficult personality.
The sense of accomplishment when conquered would be high.
“Okay. Accepted. Then let’s properly start the massage.”
Suhyun’s hand touched her feet.
The refreshing feeling she felt at first was not wrong.
The coolness spreading from the fingertips spread to the whole foot.
It enveloped the whole body along the veins.
“Ugh!”
Soyeon bit her lip hard.
A woman who doesn’t want to tell her name, and does this much.
That was Soyeon.
She didn’t want to lose to anyone, in any situation, to any opponent.
“Ahahaha, where do you see someone receiving massage so stiff? Come on. Relax. Have a comfortable mind. Feel the touch.”
“…”
“Hmm, so that’s how it is?”
Massage should be received in a stable mind and body state for the best effect.
Receiving it in a stiff state like Soyeon would be worse than not receiving it.
But Suhyun was a master who didn’t fall behind the top 10 masters in the world.
‘Shall I show a bit of my true intent?’
